Yu Weiwei pulled Hua Zhi over and introduced them to each other. The others waved their hands as if they understood. "Hurry up, you'll be familiar with them after a few games. Why are you talking nonsense?"
This made so much sense. Yu Weiwei rolled up her sleeves and left the game. "Hua Ling, watch me play a few games first. You can play whenever you want."
Hua Ling sat behind Yu Weiwei and watched them playing dice guessing. Fortunately, these people were well-educated and did not look as ferocious as gamblers. Even if they were nervous, they would just stare with their eyes wide open. They would cover their faces when they lost and jump for excitement when they won. There were no constraints here and everyone was very relaxed.
Even the girl from the Zhu family was no longer as calm as she was when they first met, and her emotions fluctuated with the outcome of the match.
Hua Zhi watched for a while and then followed suit to place bets. She won and lost, and she didn’t seem to show any emotion when she lost, which showed how confident she was.
When a group of women have fun together, there are naturally no dirty tricks. Winning or losing depends entirely on luck. Hua Zhi was not timid and was quite generous in betting. At the end of the day, she won a lot of favor. When she left at dusk, she asked her to come again tomorrow.
On the way back, Yu Weiwei's emotions had not yet calmed down. She thought she was very familiar with Hua Ling, so she naturally took her arm and started to act coquettishly, "Let's go tomorrow. Let's play something else tomorrow, okay?"
Hua Zhi leaned against the carriage and tilted her head to look at her, "So happy?"
"Of course, I won so much." Yu Weiwei made an eight gesture, "I haven't won for a long time, and today I finally turned the tables! By the way, Hua Ling, did you win or lose?"
“No.”
Yu Weiwei glared at her, "You don't care about winning or losing? Come on, do the math now."
Hua Zhi took out all the banknotes without much care. Compared with the few banknotes she brought out with her, she now had many more.
Yu Weiwei actively helped count, "Three thousand eight hundred and eighty taels, how much did you bring?"
"Five thousand taels." Hua Zhi smiled, "It seems that everything you win is what I lose."
After losing more than a thousand taels, he still had such a good attitude. Yu Weiwei felt that this person had a deep background. However, she still explained: "We didn't work together to get your money..."
"I don't think so. It's not that I underestimate you. I just can't tell who among these people today is powerful enough to decide the points."
"…Save some face." Yu Weiwei glanced at her angrily, "We are just having fun, do we have to learn those dirty tricks? Do you still want to be human?"
Hua Zhi smiled, "Does your family agree to play this every day?"
"I don't play every day. I only do this occasionally when I'm having fun. Normally, I only do this once every seven, eight or ten days. Others are almost the same. Otherwise, the atmosphere in Jinyang would not tolerate it."
Hua Zhi nodded in understanding, "That's true, then take me out to play again tomorrow."
"no problem!"
The next day, Hua Zhi went with Yu Weiwei again and tried some different tricks. As usual, they lost some money. Although there was no one controlling the gambling game, it was not difficult to lose some money. They just had to place bets on who was unlucky.
Losers are always more popular than winners. On the third day, when Yu Weiwei could no longer go, she was already qualified to go on her own.
For several days in a row, there were wins and losses, but generally speaking, she lost more times. She had already lost seven thousand taels of silver, and she had become the most popular person in this gambling house for women.
So when she said she wanted to rest for a few days, everyone was very disappointed, but they didn't force her, so they just repeatedly reminded her to go back in a few days.
"Miss, please have some soup." Early in the morning, Nian Qiu brought a bowl of hot soup to her. Although the young lady had been drinking a lot of soup in the past few days, she was still visibly thinner, which made Nian Qiu very unhappy.
After reluctantly drinking half a cup, Hua Zhi lazily fell on the beauty couch and didn't want to move. For someone who didn't like gambling, staying there every day was too much torture. It made her feel more tired than doing a big business.
"I just saw Young Master Xiaoliu outside. Do you want to meet him?"
Of course they have to meet. These days, they both go out separately and Xiaoliu comes back late, so they rarely communicate with each other.
When I went out the door, I saw that boy sitting in the yard.
"Sister Hua." Xiao Liu came over hurriedly. Seeing that Sister Hua was not in good spirits, he knew that she was tormented by recent events. He felt uncomfortable in his heart. She could have avoided all these sufferings.
"Why are you sitting outside? Aren't you cold?" Hua Zhi touched his clothes, which were a bit thin. The weather in November was already very cold, and she was afraid that it would snow soon.
"We have to wait here for Yan Xi to come. I'm afraid we will have to stay here for a few days. Nian Qiu, go buy us some thick clothes later, and buy some clothes for everyone as well."
"yes."
Xiaoliu took the opportunity to speak, "Let's go inside and talk."
The inn they rented was the best in Jinyang. The room had floor heating, which made it much warmer than outside. After drinking a cup of hot tea, they felt warm too.
"They specially set up a place for the ladies and ladies of Jinyang to have fun. I think the young and old men of Jinyang will not be left out."
"Yes, that place is just like the horse farm. You need someone to bring you in. Zeng Xiangyan probably saw that I was young and harmless, and I was generous, so he brought me along these days. It really broadened my horizons." Xiao Liu smiled, "This is the first time I know that silver is so useless."
"A big bet?"
"Our bet is not the biggest. The winnings and losses are around 4,000 taels. I heard them say that their fathers spent tens of thousands of taels of silver."
With such a big bet, it is not surprising that the final winnings or losses are hundreds of thousands of taels of silver. However, there is no such thing as a commission on the women's gambling house, and I don't know what the situation is on the men's side.
"Five percent is not too low."
It is indeed not low, and the boss behind the scenes can make a lot of money just by doing this.
"Sister Hua, can Jin Yang's situation... be changed?"
Hua Zhi did not deny that, "It's difficult. Jinyang has already formed a large scale, and the locals are very proud of it. They don't think this kind of gambling is the same as gambling in other places. The people behind the scenes are too smart."
"What should we do? We can't just let it go on like this!"
What can she do? When something is popular, it is too difficult to change it. Anyway, she couldn't think of a solution. Hua Zhi sighed, "Let's wait for Yan Xi to come."
"You won't tell Father?"
"Even if they tell me, what can they do? Ban? How to ban? If they close the casinos, they can just call some friends to have a party at home. Why don't you allow them to have fun at home?"
"I just want him to see this, to tell him that there is no such thing as a peaceful and prosperous age, to make him feel a sense of crisis and not to mess around." Especially don't mess with you! Xiao Liu gritted his teeth secretly. It was clearly a matter that shook the country, but it was placed on Sister Hua. She didn't get any benefits and was always beaten. He felt unfair for Sister Hua!
